About Me

i believe that all things and people are connected. that we are all part of something greater than ourselves. that we receive what we put out into the universe. i guess some would call that karma. yes, i believe in that too.and i'm a still a walking contradiction, predictably unpredictable, lovable, hugable, zany, sassy, creative and bootylicious. nacida y creada en san anto, respiro la buena voluntad de mi gente cada dia.i've done some travelling, lived in the sf bay area, upstate new york and barcelona - for while i wanted out and yet i've come back.no other place challenges me, motivates me, frustrates me, thrills me, exacerbates me, loves me, and nurtures me like san anto.maybe its my sentimental tendencies, my affair with the intoxicating hot summer nights that last from march until october - whatever it is...aqui estoy y por lo pronto, no me muevo.
Unless, claro, I'm rocking a show with buena gente...What Are You Doing Tonight?...all badass with our tour to the Bay Area.
Plays I've been in:
